London Calling by The Clash
Aug 20 2024

A really great album! Just remove Rudie Can't Fail (it's a bit dull, isn't it) and the album would be 5 stars. Koka Kola is the sleeper hit of the album!

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 22 2024

This was a very strange album for me to rate. The first few songs were such generic hard rock (or just so incredibly dull in general) that I was sure I'd give the album a maximum of only 2 stars. The album only started to pick up with "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir". By the time I got to the best part of the album (that being "Down by the Seaside" through "Boogie With Stu"), I definitely understood why people tend to consider this one of the best albums by Led Zeppelin. If it weren't for the dreadful beginning, which almost stopped me from doing this whole 1001 album challenge, I would've given Physical Graffiti at least 4 stars.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 23 2024

Solid album. Apart from "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Off the Wall", no song really stands out, however.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 24 2024

Definitely worth listening to. Unlike some albums, this was really easy to listen from beginning to end, and I wouldn't mind listening to it again. But "being easy to listen to", that's also the problem. Pretty much all of the songs are "good", but they don't evoke any strong feelings, in me at least...

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 26 2024

The songs on the album and the singing of Amy Winehouse are extremely competent technically, however, most of the songs on the album are way too jazzy to be interesting. "What is it About Men" is definitely the best song!

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 27 2024

A couple of good songs. Otherwise the album is just full of filler. But to be fair, I'm not that familiar with disco...

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Aug 29 2024

Way too many boring filler songs that sound the exact same! Also, I don't really get the whole "lyrics sometimes not flowing well between verses" -thing. Some of the songs have real potential though. Perfect Skin and Down on Missio.nStreet were the highlights.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 06 2024

Over 6 min songs are a crime against humanity. However, some of the crimes in question are pretty good. At least there is some variety. Still, I'm not super eager to listen to any of the songs again.
